How do education groups differ from counseling and therapy groups?

What will be an ideal response?


Education groups differ from counseling and therapy groups in many ways. In an education group, the leader usually presents some information that will be beneficial for members to learn. Although members of an education group may interact with one another, personal interaction is not the most important group dynamic. In counseling and therapy groups, members deal with sensitive, personal issues. Complex group dynamics can exist in counseling and therapy groups, so the leader must be keenly aware of group dynamics, attending to how members feel about the leader and one another.
